I "Jhe America home Is the
foundation of our national and in
dividual well being. : Its steady
improvement is at the same time
a test of our'civiligation and of
our. ideals. We vneed attractive,
worthy, permanent homes that
lighten the burden of housekeep
ing; We need homes in which
home life can reach its finest lev
els, and in which can be reared
happy children and rupright citi
zens," President Coolidge recently
declared in a letter to Mr. Hoover,
commending participation in the
coming home demonstrations.
" The Better Homes movement Is
now-in the third year of its exis
tence, It was Initiated in 1922
by Mrs. Wiliiam Brown Meloney
and an advisory council with Cal
vin 1 Coolidge as honorary head,
and Herbert Hoover as chairman.
Nearly 500 demonstrations were
held during the first year. The
movement had so developed by
last year that a number of demon
strations I was approximately
doubled in 1923. . As it became in
creasingly evident that the Better
Homes in America movement was
a force of great importance in the
education of the American people
to higher, standards of home life,
it was decided to put It on a per
manent basis by incorporating the
organization as a national educa
tional institution. It ' is believed
Jthat more and better .demonstra
tions than ever before will be held
uned this new arrangement.
The type of demonstration to be
given In each -community is deter
mined by the local committee ap
pointed by the; demonstration
chairman.- In ,the usual' well-balanced
-form of demonstration a
house is built or bought or bor
rowed, its garden is started and
its 'ground beautified, and the
house itself is equipped, furnished
and 'decorated in accordance with
regulations of convenience, com
fort and beauty.' During Better
Homes Week it is thrown open to
the public: A committee of hos
tesses is on hand to explain the i
reasons for -the house plans, and
for its equipment, furnishings
and decorations. Special exhibi
tions are given of special features,;
such as the -unusually- convenient
kitchen, the -modern nursery, the
particularly - attractive , '.. garden.
and so on. Programs dealing
with various phases of home bet
terment are given at the demon
stration home every afternoon and
evening. : School children lake an
active part in the. campaign by
